732 People who work hard in secret
When their father was still alive, none of these things were within their control.
He sighed inwardly, "I never imagined that my father's travels of less than a year would lead to such mutual distrust among his brothers."
Perhaps there was no trust from the very beginning, so how could there be any brotherly affection?
Even royalty doesn't deserve such familial affection!
Seeing the deep-seated suspicion and strife between his brothers, he felt a heavy weight in his heart.
At this moment, with a weak heart and a weak body, there is no waiting. It is as if I see my aunt playing happily with me when I was a child. I just don't know why my aunt appeared less and less later, and I became busier and busier.
In the midst of busyness, something is lost, and can never be recovered!
The eldest prince didn't say much, and slowly walked deeper into the treasure vault. He was tired and didn't want to continue.
The eldest prince pondered to himself, 'Perhaps I was motivated by revenge, but perhaps I am right.'
In this vast dynasty, power and status have always been a brutal struggle, and no one can obtain them easily.
Unless all the younger brothers were to abandon the dynasty and willingly await their father's return, how could the future of this dynasty be so easily decided?
Then he thought, 'Without the strength of Emperor Wu, how can the foundation of this dynasty be stabilized?'
How can an emperor sit securely without a Martial Emperor?
This dynasty needs a strong leader, a true martial emperor, to lead us to glory.
Perhaps, I am creating the person who can lead the dynasty into a new era.
After all, the power contained in the Holy Emperor's bloodline might be genuine!
Otherwise, how could Father Emperor have risen to power so quickly!
The choice is up to you, brothers!
In my mind, heavy thoughts lingered, each word seemingly carrying the weight of a thousand pounds.
Bloodshed is visible, but ultimately, the choice is up to these younger brothers. It may be real, it may be fake, it may be extreme, but it is still a hope!
The eldest prince staggered into the treasury first, his figure appearing so forlorn amidst the precious treasures.
The complete loss of all five meridians was undoubtedly a huge blow to a once brilliant prince.
But at this moment, there was no hatred or attachment in his heart, as if he had seen through the mortal world and let go of the troubles of the world.
It makes me think of the saying, 'Once a king dons the crown, he is destined to advance relentlessly and bravely, never stopping, for stopping means the end of his life!'
Standing quietly in the center of the treasury, with eyes closed, I await the choices of each emperor!
Outside the treasure vault, the other princes seemed to have a tacit understanding: the Eighth Prince's retreat route had been subtly cut off, as an invisible force was blocking his escape.
At the entrance of the treasury, the Eighth Prince's expression was solemn, but more than anything, he was helpless!
He thought to himself, 'I really don't want to be involved in this position anymore, but alas!'
He was now trapped with nowhere to retreat, and the other princes showed no intention of letting him leave!
The Eighth Prince glanced at his seemingly quiet Ninth Brother, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, and slowly walked into the treasury.
The atmosphere inside the treasure vault became tense.
The princes cautiously stepped into this space filled with treasures. Upon seeing the various cabinets, boxes, and secret manuals, they examined them in their hearts, seemingly waiting for the eldest prince.
When the eldest prince saw all his younger brothers enter, he felt a sense of helplessness and thought to himself, 'It really is so; no one can escape!'
I just don't know why my father left so suddenly, or what about his bloodline!
Is that really the case? Or is it?
The treasure vault doors slowly closed, and inside, the princes involuntarily took a step back, distancing themselves further from each other, their restless faces seemingly waiting patiently.
The eldest prince remained calm and composed, unconcerned by the gazes of the emperors around him. At this moment, his heart was as still as water, undisturbed by any disturbance!
He said softly, "I suppose my brothers are unaware that the earth's veins within the royal city have been severed, the dragon energy has vanished, and the spiritual lands will rapidly deplete!"
A single, soft word, yet it was like a thunderbolt from the blue!
A few words, yet they struck like a heavy hammer blow, hitting the heart!
The once tranquil treasure trove seemed to freeze instantly, as if even breathing had stopped!
The fourth prince and the others were slightly taken aback, as if they had expected it, after all, the strange phenomenon just now was earth-shattering!
Seeing the expressions on the princes' faces, the eldest prince was not particularly concerned, for he had yet to reveal even more outrageous and terrifying news. He thought to himself, 'I hope you all still have a conscience!'
Seeing the surprised yet attentive expressions on the faces of the princes, the eldest prince continued without hesitation or waiting, as if a cold gust of air had suddenly descended!
The Holy Emperor is traveling abroad, and his whereabouts are unknown!
In the past, our father swept across the land with his fists, eliminating demons and monsters, as well as numerous noble families and sects. You, my brothers, are well aware of how fast he grew and how quickly he achieved this.
Rumors circulate that it was due to the emperor's bloodline; I wonder what the other emperors think?
The soft words, in the silent environment, seemed like the tempting words of a demon, slowly resonating in the hearts of the princes.
Amidst their thoughts, many princes silently thought, 'Father's rise to power is too fast, too fast. His fists sweep across the world, demons retreat, ghosts hide, and those aristocratic families and sects bow down to him.'
Even if one conceals their cultivation level early on, resources are scarce in the early stages, so they have to rely entirely on their own cultivation.
The speed was also incredibly fast, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, growing taller and taller, and in less than three years, he had already become a Martial Emperor!
It's hard to guess what happened before he rose to power, but after that, from King Wu to Emperor Wu, it only took a short year. He rose through the ranks by killing and fighting, and the more he killed, the faster he advanced!
Later, they slaughtered countless disobedient sects and families.
The powerful clans and sects plotted an ambush, but the casualties were indescribable; they were almost completely wiped out, and their lineage was nearly severed.
Thus, the powerful clans and sects had no choice but to submit!
What followed was even stranger. The emperor had already wiped out all these powerful families and clans, so it should have been a unified dynasty, with the entire region under its rule.
However, the Emperor allowed the sects and aristocratic families to govern their own territories, seemingly unafraid that these families and sects would continue to grow and expand.
It's like raising pigs, fattening them up, then slaughtering them, and repeating that process over and over again!
The fourth prince looked cold and desolate. After the death of the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and others had never felt at ease.
The Third Prince died, having already broken through to the Martial Emperor realm but remaining silent, while we and the others have always kept it buried deep within our bones.
Moreover, the eldest prince, second brother, and third brother are likely all at the Martial Emperor level, yet they have all chosen to conceal their cultivation. Their breakthrough speed is several times faster than their other brothers.
He himself had broken through to the Martial Emperor realm a few days ago. In a daze, it seemed that the breakthrough was much easier. His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at his other brothers, his heart filled with immense fear!
He thought to himself, 'Have these younger brothers also broken through to a higher level?'
